Our school bus drivers are trained through a long-standing system of School Bus Driver Instructors who are prepared by State Education Department certified Master Instructors for such instruction and preparation. School buses are purchased in accordance with extensive specifications driven by state law and regulation. They are inspected rigorously twice annually by the State Department of Transportation for over 160 safety factors and are inspected on a pre-trip and post-trip basis every day by school bus drivers and technicians. A network of trained certified article 19 examiner assists the dept of motor vehicles in ensuring that all school bus drivers meet stringent training requirements.
